Answer the following question in separate ( 1….2….3…..4….)
If we observe unequal treatment, we may suspect discriminatory behavior. For example, as of the first quarter of 2020, female median usual weekly earnings of full-time wage is $80 cents for every dollar male worker make (https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/wkyeng.pdf Table 5). African Americans tend to make less than Whites, even when adjusting for parental income. Yet in a market economy, equal outcomes are not expected since brains, entrepreneurship, luck, and drive are not equally distributed across individuals.
Please answer the following:
- (1)If a basketball team signs only players above six feet tall, does this discriminate against those under six feet?
- (2)When does such action become discriminatory, and when does it not?
- (3)More simply put, my question for you this week basically boils down to this: What should we constitute as “discrimination”?
- (4)Please refrain from simply pouring your heart out and try to support your argument with logic and facts instead.
